1Updated postcodes
2------------------
3It is possible to update the postcodes yourself, but I do not recommend it.
4
51. Run the command './update_no -update'. This will take care of everything.
6 The old version of the module (NO.pm) is automatically renamed (with a
7 trailing dot and a large numer).
8
92. Install the module, after running the tests; './Build test install' or
10 'make test install'.
11
12The postcode file can be found on <http://epab.posten.no/>. Click on
13"Nedlasting" on the bottom of the page, and download the file 'tilbud5'.
14The direct link is <http://epab.posten.no/Norsk/Nedlasting/_Files/tilbud5>.
15
16The syntax in the postcode file may change, and this may cause errors in the
17parsing - and errors in the generated perl code. It is possible to check the
18syntax by running the program as './update_no'.
19
20An explanation of the syntax on the postcode file is given in the following
21document: "http://epab.posten.no/Norsk/Nedlasting/_Files/NorLayout.doc".
22
23Note that the tests are hard coded for a few selected postcodes, and can stop
24functioning if there are changes in one of them. I recommend that you instead
25wait for a new and updated official version of the module.
